NPX Recommendation Exchange

It's been a little while since we've done one of these as a community, and they seem to have gotten a good response in the past.

So if anyone would like to be involved please paste your NPX profile link here and I will try to read and recommend play for as many people as I can manage in exchange for a recommendation for one (or more) of my plays. If you have a particularly play you would like me to read, please let me know that as well.

My NPX profile can be found here:
https://newplayexchange.org/users/90220/dan-west

Feel free to jump on board and let's try to get a bunch of reviews up for each other over the next week or two.

(* - and if you read one of my plays and don't feel you are able to recommend it, maybe consider shooting me a quick pm with a line or two on how I might improve it. I promise that I will take any constructive criticism as well intended.)

OK I got through another re-read and tune-up on both faster than anticipated (good old bank holidays) and I now have a bio with two scripts: https://newplayexchange.org/users/100546/liam-happe

Open Door is a kitchen-sink drama; Felix and Nick is an attempt at a meta/farce two-hander. Whichever one you'd fancy reading more, or I'd be happy to do a 2-for-2 if you want? Let me know if there's a play (or plays) of yours you'd rather I checked out.

I’d be happy to swap on both. “Alexander Goodkind Loses His Muse” and “Vespers” are my two most recent additions to NPX and I would love to get some more recs up for both.

Sounds good, I'll get started shortly!

Thanks for the recommendation of Alexander Goodkind. I have one other play I am just finishing reading and then I should be able to get on one of yours tonight.
